Fricke gel radiochemical sensors based on various matrices have been studied for decades as 3D dosimeters radiotherapy. Despite their many appealing features, progressive aging and blurring of the signal prevented widespread use these dosimeters, so far. We addressed shortcomings hereby present our development a chemically cross-linked PVA matrix. investigated influence several parameters polymeric matrix sensitivity, diffusion coefficient spontaneous oxidation proposed dosimeter. Based...
This work examines a borate glass produced with oxides of potassium and lithium, known as LKB. The suitability glasses for thermoluminescent (TL) dosimetry has been reported in previous studies. In particular, doped different elements showed good characteristics terms linearity, sensitivity effective atomic number. However, are also to have high hygroscopicity, which can reduce the dosimeter. Contrary studies, this work, Mg was used one main components composition. is improve stability...
The philosophical notion of Hyperobject, as proposed by Timothy Morton (2013), might be a useful tool to reframe some the key issues in human-environment relationships. This new concept could bridge ‘once sisters’ disciplines philosophy and geography, proposing way analyze biggest environmental phenomena our times. In this paper, we will define what Hyperobjects exactly are, starting with their roots implications for discipline geography: traditional “World” itself is going challenged. aim...
Abstract This paper deals with experimental and theoretical analyses of the steam direct condensation at sub-atmospheric pressure. These operation conditions occur in Vacuum Vessel Pressure Suppression System (VVPSS) ITER Nuclear Fusion Reactor. safety system permits to manage Ingress Coolant Event (ICE cat. IV) accident condition, postulated (VV) as a consequence rupture shielding blanket cooling piping or divertor cassette piping. Experimental tests pressures 1:22 scale facility were...
Abstract The irradiation facility of the University Pisa (UNIPI) is a neutron and gamma used for calibration purposes to evaluate detectors dosemeters mixed fields. consists fairly large room (5.0 × 7.8 2.5 m3) with concrete walls roof designed minimise radiation scattering. Sealed radionuclide sources are stored in test purposes. In order perform accurate response measurements, this study applied methodology general validity assess scatter contributions (albedo) fluence ambient dose...
